[QUOTE="wackinandstackin243, post: 1331795, member: 59412"] something I have learned to do lately is check the torque. I use nightforce rings on a 20 moa rail and have found they do loosen up a little. Don't quote me but I believe nightforce specs are 60 inch pounds on where ring bolt to the base (not rings around scope). Last year I was very close to sending a scope back to nightforce and telling it wasn't worth what I paid but come to find out one of my rings tightened several turns. Both turned some. Don't crank on your rings every time you shoot. What I do now is torque to 60 in lbs. Then for checking I back my wrench of a few inch lbs for and check for any movement. Being completely honest I have bad days at the range. Sometimes packing it up and trying another day is the best choice. For me a rifle isn't truly zeroed until I double check with a cold barrel on a different day. [/QUOTE]
